Hello

I’m Mary

I am a Harrisonburg wedding photographer, friend to anyone, lover of old books, believer, wife to my high school sweetheart and also a mom to four sweet little ones.

Whenever I photograph a wedding it is my greatest pleasure to share in the joy of your wedding day and then give you back all the moments exquisitely captured. So that later on, you can remember your wedding in all it’s beauty and grace.
